That rope is about a foot off the ground; I'm struggling to work out how he managed NOT to clear it!

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 70 points 10 months ago

The same alcohol that gave him the courage, gave him the fall.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

He jumped too late, and so his toes caught, while still rising. It then spun him into the ground. Moving ropes can screw up your instincts to jump them, unless you pay proper attention (and over jump).

[-] NSFGiraffe@lemmynsfw.com 21 points 10 months ago

Notice that he didn't make any effort to catch himself. This isn't a person that normally does things like this or the crash wouldn't have been a solid faceplant.

Most people can't jump for shit.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

He did the motions of a jump but with the 6" of height he got he might as well have just run straight into it.

[-] mustardman@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 10 months ago

The rope looks like it is oscillating up/down. If you position your jump on the "down" oscillation, you're gonna have a bad time.

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 24 points 10 months ago

Oof. Not sure which hurt more, the face plant or the embarrassment.

[-] migratory_bird@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 10 months ago

Definitely the embarrassment

Klaipėda, Lithuania. Great city to come for a day of tourism, close to Nida, best place to stay a week on a hot summer.

what did the bridge say to the face? SLAP

[-] braintrust2k@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago

bridge-slap

[-] TWG@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago

I was expecting it to be a boat that was impatient and rammed the bridge

If the crime is petty enough and you hurt yourself bad enough, you can get away with it think-about-it

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

I did very similar as a pre teen at a weekend school thing where I was running and tried to jump over a bench that was attached to a pole, I'd don't it several times, I miscalculated and slammed my shen into the front of it and ate shit.

It was right in front of an older guy I respected too, I felt so embarrassed and my knee hurt for fucking days.

Don't remember how bad my knee was exactly, but remember the shame

~~Fall~~ emotional damage!

[-] crime@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

My cousin broke his skull doing something like that, he's never lived it down but at least there wasn't any CCTV of it

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Well guess he learnt a valuable less... Ah who am I kidding, fuck yeah, Crack that skull!

[-] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

This bridge deck clearly needs more traction, why is the old guy operating a switch slipping around also?

[-] Luci@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago
[-] Magrath@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

I don't think he's slipping. I think the switch was pulling him.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Huh? He was fighting the bridges inertia

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

You best get on to them and tell them what's what

[-] mawkishdave@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

I hope that was more painful than it looks.
